Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care training with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to address problems extending from normal conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
