Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing medical instruction with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address conditions ranging from typical afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet typically encounter.
