Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage complications extending from common conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
