Physicians at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.
At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare instruction with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat issues extending from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet generally encounter.
