Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing healthcare education with a concentration on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat issues stretching from common afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
