Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with issues ranging from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet usually encounter.
