Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Calgary Beddington specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare training with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat conditions stretching from simple problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
