Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing medical education with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for complications ranging from typical conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet normally encounter.
