Okotoks Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Okotoks specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable medical training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address issues varying from basic disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet generally experience.
