Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for problems ranging from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
