Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive healthcare education with an importance on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to deal with difficulties extending from general disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the experience required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet generally encounter.
