Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive medical training with a focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to deal with complications stretching from general conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the skill essential to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet generally encounter.
