Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained encompassing healthcare education with an attention to on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems ranging from general afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the skill essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
