Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical education with a main focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are taught to address problems extending from general disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet typically encounter.
