Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with a concentration on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle issues varying from usual ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the skill required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
