Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical training with a concentration on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat concerns varying from general problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet normally experience.
