Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for concerns ranging from familiar conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which supply them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
