Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and many podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to manage issues extending from typical disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet usually experience.
