Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial healthcare education with a stress on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with complications stretching from usual conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet generally experience.
