Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough health care training with a focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat problems stretching from commonplace disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet commonly experience.
