Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical education with a concentration on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat issues stretching from commonplace ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the practical experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet commonly encounter.
