Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical training with an attention to on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat complications stretching from simple problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the prior experience essential to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet generally encounter.
