Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to care for concerns ranging from regular ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet routinely experience.
