Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical instruction with an attention to on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to care for problems stretching from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which furnish them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
