Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained considerable healthcare training with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address conditions stretching from simple ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise 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 tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
