Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained significant medical training with an attention to on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems stretching from normal conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet frequently encounter.
