Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually various podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive medical training with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat issues varying from general problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the experience vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
