Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained thorough medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from common problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
