Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and various podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained encompassing medical education with an importance on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with complications varying from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated 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 feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet generally encounter.
