Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough health care training with a main focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to deal with complications stretching from simple ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
