Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received significant medical instruction with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle problems extending from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
