Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage problems extending from general afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
