Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon achieving 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.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive medical education with a focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat complications extending from general problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet normally encounter.
