Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing medical instruction with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with problems extending from typical afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which provide them the skill necessary to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet regularly experience.
