Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and various podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a stress on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address difficulties stretching from usual conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet usually experience.
