Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and a number of podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical training with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to deal with complications ranging from common afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience vital to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
