Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired significant medical education with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to care for concerns varying from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet routinely encounter.
