Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a main focus on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to handle issues stretching from regular afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet frequently experience.
