Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable healthcare education with an importance on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with conditions ranging from general ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
