Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle concerns varying from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet usually experience.
