Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend around ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained thorough healthcare instruction with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat difficulties varying from commonplace problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the prior experience needed to execute surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet regularly experience.
