Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained considerable health care training with a main focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for concerns stretching from general disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the skill required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent a large number of troubles which the feet usually experience.
