Okotoks Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Okotoks specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat difficulties varying from simple disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet frequently experience.
