Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for concerns ranging from simple disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the skill needed to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous troubles which the feet usually experience.
