Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of 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 obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging medical instruction with an importance on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to address concerns varying from typical afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
