Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial health care training with an attention to on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat problems ranging from conventional disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet typically encounter.
