Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial medical instruction with a stress on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to address conditions extending from conventional ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
