Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical training with a focus on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat issues ranging from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
