Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive healthcare education with an attention to on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat issues stretching from familiar conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the skill vital to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet normally experience.
