Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing medical instruction with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle conditions ranging from typical conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet routinely experience.
