Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to address concerns ranging from simple afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet generally encounter.
