Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial healthcare training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat complications stretching from basic problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet regularly experience.
