Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired significant healthcare instruction with a focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with complications ranging from familiar ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which provide them the skill vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet typically experience.
