Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing medical instruction with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to address difficulties ranging from usual conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet generally encounter.
