Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained encompassing medical training with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to address conditions extending from basic afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best remedied 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 endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet frequently encounter.
