Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive healthcare education with an importance on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for conditions extending from commonplace afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet generally encounter.
