Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical instruction with a stress on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage problems stretching from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
