Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical education with a main focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle problems extending from basic ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet frequently experience.
