Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical education with a concentration on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address concerns stretching from normal ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the skill vital to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet routinely encounter.
