Calgary Beddington Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Calgary Beddington provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive health care instruction with an emphasis on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems extending from regular afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet frequently experience.
