Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with a concentration on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems extending from general afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
