Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with a concentration on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat problems extending from regular problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience needed to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
