Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical education with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to care for problems ranging from general afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
