Calgary Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Calgary specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained comprehensive health care education with a concentration on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat difficulties stretching from conventional afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet usually experience.
