Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive medical training with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to deal with issues stretching from usual conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet routinely experience.
