Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive medical training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat complications extending from common problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the prior experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet frequently encounter.
