Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Calgary Beddington provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough medical instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with concerns ranging from conventional ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which supply them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet commonly experience.
