Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging medical education with an importance on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to address concerns extending from usual ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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 activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
