Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable healthcare training with a concentration on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems extending from conventional problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet normally encounter.
