Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and several podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant medical training with an attention to on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address issues ranging from conventional problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the practical experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
