Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable medical education with an attention to on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat issues extending from usual ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the expertise needed to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

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 undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet regularly experience.
