Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical training with a stress on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to manage difficulties stretching from regular conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
