Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired substantial medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems stretching from general ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
