Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot.

Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired substantial health care instruction with an attention to on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks.
