Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in learning, 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 is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive health care training with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with problems ranging from common ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which provide them the expertise required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
