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

Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable medical training with a focus on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat issues ranging from standard conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the expertise needed to execute surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks.
