Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to manage issues ranging from familiar problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet generally encounter.
