Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough healthcare training with a focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address problems extending from general disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
