Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical instruction with a concentration on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to care for conditions ranging from normal ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet typically experience.
