Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and many podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable healthcare training with an importance on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat conditions ranging from conventional afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet typically encounter.
