Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and many podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough health care training with a stress on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat problems stretching from basic ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which give them the practical experience vital to execute surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet normally experience.
