Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare education with a concentration on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat problems ranging from regular afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
