Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant healthcare education with an importance on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to care for problems extending from common conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet generally encounter.
