Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with an importance on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat problems extending from common conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive 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 allows a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet normally encounter.
