Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical instruction with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for complications ranging from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
