Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to manage problems ranging from common afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the expertise required to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet generally encounter.
