Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive medical instruction with a focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat conditions extending from simple afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
