Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive medical training with a concentration on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to manage complications varying from basic ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
