Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive medical training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to manage complications extending from general conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet frequently encounter.
