Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial medical instruction with an attention to on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to deal with issues varying from typical ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the prior experience required to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
