Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained thorough health care education with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems varying from regular afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the skill required to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities.
