Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant healthcare education with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat problems ranging from standard disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience essential to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
