Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with problems ranging from regular afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
