Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for problems extending from conventional disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet commonly experience.
