Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle problems varying from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the practical experience vital to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise 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 perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
