Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable medical instruction with a stress on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with concerns varying from familiar problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically experience.
