Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle conditions varying from basic conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet frequently experience.
