Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with a concentration on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to handle problems ranging from common conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet generally encounter.
