Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough healthcare training with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems varying from regular disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the skill needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet frequently experience.
