Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical training with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat issues varying from typical problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet usually encounter.
