Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable health care instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address difficulties ranging from typical afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the expertise vital to carry out surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet usually encounter.
