Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage complications stretching from conventional ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise 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 problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet frequently encounter.
