Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive medical education with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle problems extending from commonplace conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet typically experience.
