Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive health care training with a focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems ranging from regular disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the skill vital to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet regularly encounter.
