Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care instruction with a stress on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for conditions stretching from standard conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet frequently encounter.
