Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive health care training with an importance on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat problems ranging from standard ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the skill needed to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet typically encounter.
