Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical training with a focus on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to manage concerns varying from basic problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience crucial to execute surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet normally experience.
