Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained comprehensive health care training with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with difficulties ranging from basic disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the practical experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet regularly experience.
