Calgary Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Calgary specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical instruction with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address issues ranging from familiar conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill vital to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet typically experience.
