Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical instruction with a stress on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle difficulties ranging from standard ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the expertise vital to execute surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also 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 carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet frequently experience.
