Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired substantial medical instruction with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat difficulties ranging from common ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet generally encounter.
