Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to care for problems ranging from typical problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
