Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical training with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address conditions varying from basic problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet normally encounter.
