Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually various podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant medical instruction with a concentration on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to handle issues varying from typical disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the practical experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
