Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with an importance on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to handle complications stretching from general problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the expertise vital to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
