Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually many podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing health care instruction with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for issues varying from regular ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet routinely encounter.
