Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat concerns varying from basic ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the expertise crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet regularly experience.
