Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough medical training with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for issues stretching from standard afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the practical experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
