Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough health care training with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat complications extending from common conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the prior experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
