Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained substantial medical education with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with complications ranging from usual conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of troubles which the feet generally experience.
