Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical instruction with a concentration on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to manage conditions ranging from typical conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience required to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive 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 makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet typically encounter.
