Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to handle issues ranging from conventional conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
