Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained comprehensive medical training with a stress on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage problems varying from common ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough 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 tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
