Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive medical education with a main focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to handle problems stretching from basic problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the expertise vital to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet generally encounter.
