Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to manage problems ranging from common ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet frequently experience.
