Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to address issues stretching from usual ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the prior experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities.
