Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat difficulties ranging from simple conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet normally experience.
