Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging medical instruction with an attention to on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to manage complications ranging from general conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet normally encounter.
