Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems varying from regular ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet usually encounter.
