Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to address issues varying from typical conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
