Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical education with a concentration on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage concerns extending from regular disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
