Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough medical education with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat difficulties stretching from standard ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet generally experience.
