Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care training with a focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to address conditions ranging from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience needed to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
