Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical instruction with an attention to on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage complications ranging from standard afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which provide them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
