Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat conditions ranging from conventional disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
