Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical training with a concentration on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat conditions ranging from familiar conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which give them the practical experience vital to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet normally encounter.
