Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle issues varying from general conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the expertise required to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet commonly experience.
