Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant health care instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle concerns extending from basic conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
