Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough healthcare training with a concentration on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for problems extending from simple ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet frequently experience.
