Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable health care training with an importance on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat problems extending from simple disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet generally experience.
