Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive healthcare instruction with an importance on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat concerns stretching from normal conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
