Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing medical instruction with a main focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage complications ranging from familiar problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet usually experience.
