Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical instruction with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to care for problems stretching from general ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
