Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging health care education with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems varying from familiar problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet typically encounter.
