Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained thorough medical instruction with a main focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues ranging from simple afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
