Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat difficulties stretching from simple ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which give them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet usually encounter.
