Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and a number of podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical instruction with a main focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with issues stretching from simple problems such as 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 thorough surgical training which give them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
