Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing health care education with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with problems ranging from standard problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
