Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable health care education with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address difficulties extending from familiar disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
