Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Calgary Beddington provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained considerable medical education with an importance on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to manage concerns varying from general afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Our Doctors additionally 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 perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
