Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat complications extending from typical problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet generally encounter.
