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 spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical education with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle concerns ranging from regular ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
