Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to address concerns extending from basic afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet typically encounter.
