Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical training with a concentration on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle conditions ranging from common conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
