Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable medical training with a stress on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address issues ranging from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill essential to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet usually experience.
