Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained encompassing medical instruction with a focus on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to manage issues extending from general disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet usually encounter.
