Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial health care training with a focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with concerns stretching from usual ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the prior experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet regularly experience.
