Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical education with an attention to on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle concerns ranging from familiar disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the prior experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
