Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant health care instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with problems varying from usual conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which give them the practical experience crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet frequently encounter.
