Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications stretching from common disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
