Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant medical training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage issues ranging from simple ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
