Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant healthcare education with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle conditions ranging from typical conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the prior experience essential to carry out surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

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 experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet typically experience.
