Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired encompassing health care training with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for concerns varying from basic conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
