Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained thorough healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to address difficulties varying from basic ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet routinely encounter.
