Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received encompassing healthcare education with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to manage conditions stretching from basic ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
