Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive healthcare instruction with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat difficulties extending from commonplace problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
