Calgary Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Calgary focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care training with an importance on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to care for problems ranging from normal afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the skill essential to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet generally encounter.
