Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant medical education with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems stretching from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
