Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Calgary Beddington specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with complications ranging from commonplace afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
