Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical instruction with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat concerns ranging from normal conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet routinely encounter.
