Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and a number of podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing medical training with a stress on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to address concerns extending from basic conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the skill vital to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet typically encounter.
