Calgary Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Calgary focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to address problems extending from standard ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the skill needed to execute surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
