Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging healthcare training with a focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage difficulties extending from general ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
