Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained significant medical training with a concentration on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to care for conditions extending from typical conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which provide them the expertise required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet normally experience.
