Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot.

Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired encompassing medical education with a focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat issues varying from common conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities.
