Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot.

Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired thorough medical instruction with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for problems varying from regular ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
