Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough healthcare training with a main focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems stretching from common disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the skill required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet regularly experience.
