Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive health care education with an emphasis on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions extending from common conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet typically encounter.
