Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial health care education with an attention to on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat problems ranging from usual afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which give them the expertise vital to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet typically experience.
