Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable healthcare training with an attention to on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to deal with issues stretching from simple ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
