Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging healthcare training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with problems varying from general ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise 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.
