Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive healthcare instruction with a focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to deal with conditions varying from familiar conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet routinely experience.
