Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical training with an importance on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from simple conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
