Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with concerns extending from standard ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet usually encounter.
