Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and actually various podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to manage problems stretching from normal ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet usually encounter.
