Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical education with a concentration on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat conditions extending from conventional afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet usually experience.
