Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a main focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with concerns stretching from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet generally encounter.
