Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for concerns extending from commonplace problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet usually encounter.
