Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging health care training with an attention to on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications varying from regular disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet typically experience.
