Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical training with an attention to on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat difficulties extending from simple ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet commonly experience.
