Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Calgary Beddington focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical training with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for issues varying from commonplace conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience crucial to execute surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
