Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with a concentration on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to manage conditions varying from typical conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
