Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical instruction with a focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for conditions varying from typical ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which give them the experience vital to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet normally encounter.
