Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.
Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained considerable health care training with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat problems varying from standard problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.
Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
