Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four 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 corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care education with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to address problems ranging from usual ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill required to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
