Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with a stress on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to treat concerns ranging from conventional afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
