Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle difficulties stretching from familiar ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience vital to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
