Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough healthcare training with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle difficulties stretching from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even 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 crucial to carry out surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet usually experience.
