Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to address concerns varying from normal ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet typically experience.
