Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and a number of podiatry programs are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle problems extending from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
