Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained significant medical training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to address difficulties ranging from general disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally treated 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 legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet usually experience.
