Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare instruction with a stress on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are qualified to handle difficulties ranging from normal ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
