Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough medical instruction with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage complications ranging from standard conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet usually experience.
