Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical education with a stress on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat difficulties ranging from general disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
