Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive health care instruction with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle concerns ranging from normal conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
