Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical training with a main focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to care for complications ranging from general afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
