Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle problems ranging from typical disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
