Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired encompassing medical education with a focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle problems varying from normal ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet normally encounter.
