Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care training with a main focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to care for difficulties extending from typical ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet typically encounter.
