Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical training with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat problems ranging from basic problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
