Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant health care training with a concentration on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to manage problems ranging from general conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the expertise crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
