Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest about a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained significant medical education with a focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with problems extending from standard problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
