Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive medical education with an importance on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle problems ranging from general ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
