Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical education with a stress on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems ranging from general conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
