Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to care for issues ranging from normal ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which furnish them the expertise vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet normally encounter.
