Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle.

Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

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