Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive health care training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to handle issues ranging from common problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the prior experience essential to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet typically encounter.
