Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing medical training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems extending from typical problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which give them the skill needed to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet generally encounter.
