Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical education with a stress on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage problems ranging from typical problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which supply them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
