Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend about ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive health care training with an attention to on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat conditions ranging from common ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience essential to conduct surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet generally encounter.
