Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired encompassing health care training with a focus on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to handle difficulties varying from commonplace conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet usually experience.
