Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical training with an attention to on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to manage concerns stretching from regular conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities.
