Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough health care training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat issues ranging from familiar disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical 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 problems enables a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
