Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical education with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from common ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
