Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality many podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired encompassing medical training with a focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to handle conditions varying from basic ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience required to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute 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 carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous troubles which the feet normally experience.
