Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical training with an attention to on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat difficulties varying from familiar ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet normally experience.
