Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform 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 received comprehensive health care education with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for difficulties ranging from regular conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied 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 undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet usually experience.
