Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive health care education with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat concerns stretching from conventional disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which furnish them the skill vital to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet typically experience.
