Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained encompassing health care training with a concentration on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to manage complications ranging from usual ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet normally encounter.
