Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive healthcare training with an importance on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to care for complications varying from conventional disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the expertise vital to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet usually experience.
