Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired substantial healthcare instruction with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat concerns extending from familiar disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough 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 peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet frequently experience.
