Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive health care instruction with a stress on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for complications stretching from simple conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
