Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to treat difficulties stretching from general ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet typically experience.
