Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical training with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat difficulties extending from basic afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the experience needed to carry out surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
