Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with conditions extending from conventional ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet frequently encounter.
