Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around ten 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 traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained encompassing medical training with a stress on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems stretching from simple problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet normally encounter.
