Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired substantial medical education with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to address issues ranging from typical ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the skill needed to execute surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
