Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical education with a stress on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with difficulties varying from conventional problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the prior experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
