Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable medical training with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to care for concerns stretching from simple disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the expertise vital to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet routinely experience.
