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 put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained significant healthcare instruction with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat conditions extending from general ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the practical experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
