Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical education with a focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage concerns extending from general disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet normally experience.
