Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually many podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical instruction with a stress on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage concerns extending from conventional ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
