Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing medical training with a main focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat issues extending from simple disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet frequently encounter.
