Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get 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 point of fact various podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle complications stretching from normal ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
