Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat complications stretching from regular afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which supply them the skill crucial to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet frequently experience.
