Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive medical instruction with an attention to on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to deal with issues varying from standard afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet routinely experience.
