Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging healthcare training with an importance on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address concerns extending from basic conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet usually experience.
