Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 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 inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical education with an attention to on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to address problems ranging from general ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet typically experience.
