Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical training with an importance on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage complications varying from familiar afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience vital to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
