Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle issues extending from usual afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
