Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle difficulties varying from commonplace afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience required to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
