Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot.

Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive health care education with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address conditions stretching from simple ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the expertise crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet regularly encounter.
