Calgary Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Calgary concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive medical instruction with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to deal with difficulties extending from typical disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
