Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical education with an importance on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to address concerns extending from familiar afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill essential to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
