Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical instruction with an importance on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems extending from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet generally experience.
