Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical education with an attention to on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for problems extending from simple disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet commonly experience.
