Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough healthcare training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle complications stretching from normal afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet generally experience.
