Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained considerable medical instruction with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to handle problems extending from common afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
