Calgary North Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Calgary North provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing healthcare education with an attention to on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat issues extending from familiar conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
