Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired substantial medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat difficulties extending from regular conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet generally experience.
