Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care education with an importance on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to address complications varying from basic conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience vital to execute surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
