Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with an importance on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to care for conditions extending from normal problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet frequently experience.
