Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and many podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained encompassing medical training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat complications ranging from common ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience required to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
