Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical education with an attention to on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to address problems stretching from simple disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
