Calgary North Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Calgary North focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant healthcare training with an importance on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat problems stretching from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the skill crucial to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet regularly encounter.
