Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive healthcare education with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle complications ranging from typical ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the expertise required to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet usually encounter.
