Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive medical education with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems varying from conventional disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which provide them the expertise required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet typically encounter.
