Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing medical training with a stress on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with problems stretching from simple afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience vital to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet normally encounter.
