Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage difficulties extending from regular conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet usually encounter.
