Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care training with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle concerns ranging from standard problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet routinely experience.
