Calgary Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Calgary specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable healthcare training with a main focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat complications extending from standard ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the practical experience vital to conduct surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet generally experience.
