Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.
Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant health care education with a concentration on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems ranging from familiar afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet regularly experience.
