Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained encompassing medical training with a stress on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to handle concerns varying from basic afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
