Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical instruction with a focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to handle problems ranging from common conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the expertise crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
