Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for concerns varying from conventional disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions 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 feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet typically encounter.
