Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained thorough health care instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat problems varying from familiar disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet routinely experience.
