Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired substantial medical training with an attention to on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle problems ranging from typical conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
