Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and many podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial healthcare training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from standard conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet usually encounter.
