Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained substantial health care training with a stress on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address problems ranging from basic afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet typically encounter.
