Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these academic 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.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive health care training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to handle problems extending from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet usually encounter.
