Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around ten 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 attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired encompassing healthcare education with a stress on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to care for difficulties ranging from commonplace disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience needed to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet frequently encounter.
