Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive healthcare training with a stress on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address difficulties varying from simple ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the skill vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
