Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot.

Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging medical training with an attention to on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address problems varying from common ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet usually experience.
