Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired thorough healthcare training with an importance on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to manage complications extending from normal conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
