Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical instruction with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat problems extending from standard problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet routinely experience.
