Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical instruction with an attention to on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with problems extending from familiar afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the prior experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet routinely encounter.
