Calgary Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Calgary specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical education with an importance on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle problems ranging from standard disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
