Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable health care education with an importance on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with difficulties varying from commonplace ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience required to conduct surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
