Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired considerable healthcare training with a stress on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle problems ranging from basic ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
