Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing healthcare training with a concentration on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with problems ranging from general ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
