Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive health care education with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat conditions extending from general disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
