Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot.

Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to address problems ranging from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities.
