Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care instruction with an importance on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat difficulties ranging from basic ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the skill required to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet generally encounter.
