Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial medical training with an attention to on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat problems ranging from regular problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the experience vital to perform surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet frequently encounter.
