Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for issues ranging from commonplace conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
