Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and various podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining 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 residency, our Doctors have received considerable healthcare training with a main focus on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to address difficulties varying from normal problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet typically experience.
