Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable healthcare education with an importance on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage issues ranging from typical afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
