Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with an attention to on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are qualified to handle complications varying from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
