Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained encompassing healthcare training with a focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to handle problems ranging from usual afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet typically encounter.
