Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical training with an importance on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to handle complications stretching from familiar problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the expertise needed to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
