Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and many podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained comprehensive medical training with a focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to care for concerns stretching from basic conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the experience essential to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet typically experience.
