Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage conditions stretching from simple disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
