Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial health care instruction with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to care for concerns ranging from usual conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet generally encounter.
