Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive health care instruction with a stress on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to address problems extending from basic disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience needed to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive 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 problems permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet generally experience.
