Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive medical education with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle problems ranging from general ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience vital to execute surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet routinely experience.
