Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical education with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address concerns varying from commonplace disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the skill required to carry out surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
