Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive medical training with a stress on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for concerns stretching from conventional conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
