Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to manage complications ranging from regular conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
