Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive health care training with a stress on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat issues stretching from conventional ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
