Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle.

Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat conditions ranging from normal ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the expertise crucial to carry out surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet typically experience.
