Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical instruction with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat concerns extending from familiar conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our 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 tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent a large number of troubles which the feet typically encounter.
