Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial healthcare training with an attention to on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage conditions ranging from common problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the practical experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
