Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from general ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the expertise vital to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities.
