Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing health care training with an importance on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat concerns ranging from familiar ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute 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 carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet regularly experience.
