Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive healthcare training with an attention to on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for complications varying from general problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
