Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing health care education with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage difficulties ranging from regular ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to perform surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
