Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare training with a stress on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat issues varying from commonplace afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience vital to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet typically experience.
