Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 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 in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive healthcare training with a focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle issues ranging from normal disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the expertise vital to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet regularly experience.
