Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for difficulties ranging from typical conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
