Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing health care education with an importance on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage issues ranging from typical conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
