Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical education with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems extending from normal afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet typically encounter.
