Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.
Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable health care instruction with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are qualified to deal with problems ranging from typical ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which supply them the practical experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet regularly experience.
