Physicians at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care training with a main focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems ranging from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors additionally 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 carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
