Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive medical education with a concentration on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to address conditions varying from typical ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet generally experience.
