Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to manage complications extending from typical ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which supply them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive 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 tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet frequently encounter.
