Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant medical education with an attention to on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to care for concerns extending from standard ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
