Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive medical education with a focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for complications varying from general afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
