Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial health care education with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat problems ranging from normal ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet generally experience.
