Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and many podiatry programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive healthcare training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with conditions ranging from familiar conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the expertise vital to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
