Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained significant medical training with a stress on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to address problems ranging from commonplace ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
