Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing medical training with an importance on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems stretching from simple disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet typically experience.
