Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to address concerns extending from usual ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
