Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive health care training with a main focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat conditions varying from regular problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the prior experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet routinely encounter.
