Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 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 get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging healthcare training with an importance on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are qualified to care for complications stretching from typical conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which furnish them the expertise crucial to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet generally encounter.
