Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained encompassing healthcare instruction with an importance on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage complications extending from basic afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the experience vital to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet routinely experience.
