Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough health care education with a stress on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle problems ranging from conventional disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet generally experience.
