Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough medical instruction with an importance on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat problems stretching from general afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet usually encounter.
