Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to manage complications stretching from typical ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill required to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet typically encounter.
