Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical education with a concentration on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems extending from common problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
