Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive health care education with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage problems ranging from general conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet routinely encounter.
