Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical training with an attention to on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to address conditions extending from general conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
