Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging health care education with an attention to on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat conditions stretching from commonplace ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the prior experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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 peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
