Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for complications ranging from standard afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience required to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
