Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant medical training with a main focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from normal conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet frequently encounter.
