Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in reality many podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive health care education with a stress on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address issues extending from common problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the skill vital to perform surgery on those complications that are best remedied 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 undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet routinely encounter.
