Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable healthcare training with an importance on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle conditions stretching from simple ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience crucial to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
