Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained wide-ranging healthcare training with a stress on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for difficulties extending from general conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
