Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to deal with concerns ranging from usual ailments for instance 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 instruction which furnish them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
