Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle concerns varying from simple conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet commonly experience.
