Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough medical training with an attention to on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with difficulties ranging from standard disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet frequently encounter.
