Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle complications varying from standard problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet regularly encounter.
