Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare education with an attention to on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to manage issues ranging from basic disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
