Okotoks Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Okotoks provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive health care training with an importance on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with issues ranging from common afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet regularly experience.
