Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical training with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions stretching from typical ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
