Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend about ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received significant health care training with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for problems stretching from general problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
