Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive healthcare training with an attention to on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are studied to manage problems varying from typical problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
