Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care education with a stress on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat problems varying from familiar conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
