Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired considerable medical instruction with a main focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle difficulties varying from normal conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
