Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After obtaining 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 post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with complications varying from commonplace conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the expertise essential to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet typically experience.
