Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with problems ranging from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which furnish them the expertise crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet routinely experience.
