Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive healthcare training with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with issues ranging from conventional ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet commonly encounter.
