Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually several podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired substantial medical education with an attention to on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address difficulties stretching from regular disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet frequently encounter.
