Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with complications ranging from usual conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
