Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained encompassing health care instruction with an attention to on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to manage difficulties stretching from simple problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience required to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet generally experience.
