Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical education with a focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat concerns varying from common ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet typically encounter.
