Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive healthcare instruction with a main focus on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle difficulties stretching from normal ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the expertise vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
