Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant medical training with a concentration on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat complications ranging from commonplace problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet commonly experience.
