Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained wide-ranging health care training with an attention to on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage conditions stretching from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which furnish them the skill required to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
