Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing medical training with a stress on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat concerns stretching from commonplace disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the expertise necessary to execute surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet normally experience.
