Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical education with a concentration on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues stretching from familiar problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the skill required to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet normally experience.
