Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address problems ranging from regular disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet normally encounter.
