Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive healthcare training with a main focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to manage problems ranging from usual problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
