Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and various podiatry programs lie within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive healthcare education with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat difficulties stretching from typical ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet typically encounter.
