Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and numerous podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough healthcare instruction with an attention to on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems extending from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the skill required to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet generally encounter.
