Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing health care training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle issues ranging from general afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the expertise required to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
