Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical instruction with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to handle problems ranging from common conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet routinely experience.
