Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to care for problems ranging from normal problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive 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 activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet usually encounter.
