Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare instruction with a stress on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle complications stretching from standard ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the prior experience vital to conduct surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
