Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant health care education with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat problems stretching from basic disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise vital to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
