Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare education with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle issues varying from common problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
