Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of a decade 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 corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing health care education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems varying from standard afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the prior experience vital to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet generally experience.
