Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and various podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care training with an importance on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to manage problems ranging from normal ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the prior experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet routinely encounter.
