Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat difficulties extending from usual ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet commonly experience.
