Calgary Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Calgary specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical education with an attention to on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat concerns ranging from commonplace conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet generally encounter.
