Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually many podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After attaining 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 doctors have received considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address conditions extending from standard ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet normally experience.
