Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough health care training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage conditions ranging from conventional ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the experience needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet normally experience.
