Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical instruction with a main focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from normal ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
