Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical instruction with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for conditions varying from regular disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the expertise crucial to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet generally experience.
