Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems extending from common ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet frequently experience.
