Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a concentration on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat difficulties varying from basic afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience needed to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet routinely experience.
