Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive health care training with an importance on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for difficulties ranging from standard conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
