Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive health care education with an emphasis on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with conditions ranging from normal ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet generally encounter.
