Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about ten 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 have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical education with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for complications extending from regular disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet routinely encounter.
