Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and various podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for problems ranging from usual problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the expertise crucial to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
