Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough health care instruction with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat difficulties varying from usual conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
