Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant medical training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage concerns extending from general afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive 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 tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet generally encounter.
