Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat problems ranging from commonplace conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet frequently experience.
