Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 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 secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to manage difficulties extending from familiar disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
