Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable medical education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat concerns ranging from simple disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet typically experience.
