Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat conditions extending from conventional afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which supply them the expertise vital to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities.
