Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired significant medical training with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues extending from conventional ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet normally experience.
