Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive health care training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle problems stretching from simple conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the practical experience crucial to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet commonly experience.
