Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable medical training with a concentration on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage conditions varying from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet usually encounter.
