Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough health care education with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat conditions varying from normal afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet generally experience.
