Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an attention to on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage difficulties ranging from commonplace ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
