Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical training with an attention to on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat difficulties ranging from commonplace disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
