Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to handle issues ranging from conventional ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which supply them the expertise essential to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet commonly encounter.
