Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical instruction with a focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to address problems ranging from typical ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
