Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough medical training with a concentration on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat issues varying from typical ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which supply them the experience required to execute surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
