Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 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 several podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care training with an attention to on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with problems ranging from standard ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
