Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial medical education with a concentration on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage concerns ranging from normal ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which give them the prior experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet normally experience.
