Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 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 training programs are contained inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired significant medical training with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to manage issues ranging from standard problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience vital to execute surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet regularly experience.
