Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Calgary Beddington specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.
At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare education with a stress on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat issues varying from usual problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet frequently encounter.
