Specialists at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired considerable medical training with a focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage difficulties stretching from simple ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet usually encounter.
