Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists 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 Foot doctors have acquired extensive medical training with a stress on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from common problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which give them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet normally encounter.
