Calgary Beddington Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Calgary Beddington specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat conditions stretching from regular disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
