Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a stress on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle problems stretching from normal afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet usually encounter.
