Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually various podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough medical training with an importance on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address complications extending from typical afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience required to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet normally experience.
