Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from basic conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which provide them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
