Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable medical education with an importance on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat complications ranging from familiar problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the expertise needed to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet usually encounter.
