Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical education with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to address problems ranging from general disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet regularly experience.
