Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired encompassing medical education with an attention to on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage difficulties ranging from basic problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet typically experience.
