Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive health care instruction with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage problems ranging from usual conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
