Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial healthcare training with an importance on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle problems varying from commonplace disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet regularly experience.
