Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough healthcare training with a main focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to address concerns varying from regular problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
