Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for complications extending from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet frequently experience.
