Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical training with a focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with issues stretching from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet generally experience.
