Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat issues ranging from regular problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
