Calgary West Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Calgary West specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable health care training with a stress on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat problems extending from standard ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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 carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet usually encounter.
