Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle conditions stretching from usual afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the prior experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive 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 carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet usually experience.
