Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical education with a stress on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address conditions varying from common conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
