Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and many podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging medical training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems ranging from usual problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet commonly experience.
