Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems varying from standard conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against countless issues which the feet frequently encounter.
