Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive medical instruction with a concentration on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with difficulties ranging from normal conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet typically experience.
