Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained comprehensive health care training with a concentration on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to manage issues ranging from basic disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
