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

Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to manage conditions ranging from standard ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the experience required to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
