Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable medical education with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat conditions ranging from normal problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
