Calgary Downtown Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Calgary Downtown specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired encompassing medical education with a concentration on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to handle problems ranging from simple ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
