Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired substantial health care training with a main focus on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with issues stretching from standard afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet commonly experience.
