Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical training with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for complications ranging from general ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the expertise required to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore 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 perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
