Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Calgary provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable health care education with a main focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat concerns extending from conventional conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
