Physicians at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and many podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical education with a stress on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat concerns stretching from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet normally experience.
