Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive health care training with an attention to on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to manage difficulties extending from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet normally experience.
