Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable medical education with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to address complications ranging from regular problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet generally experience.
