Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle.

Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing medical education with a focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address issues stretching from regular problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet typically experience.
