Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained thorough health care training with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to address issues ranging from general disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
