Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable healthcare instruction with an importance on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle conditions stretching from typical disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience essential to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet typically encounter.
