Calgary Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Calgary specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant health care training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for issues ranging from regular afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet routinely experience.
