Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial healthcare instruction with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to handle problems ranging from conventional afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the experience needed to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet regularly encounter.
