Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial health care training with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems varying from conventional problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which furnish them the expertise crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet routinely encounter.
