Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired encompassing health care training with a main focus on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with concerns ranging from common afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet routinely encounter.
