Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with a concentration on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage problems ranging from commonplace disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet frequently encounter.
