Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with conditions varying from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet routinely experience.
