Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle problems varying from usual disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet frequently encounter.
