Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough health care training with an attention to on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for concerns stretching from conventional disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience required to carry out surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet normally experience.
