Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and many podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with problems ranging from commonplace disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed 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 submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet regularly encounter.
