Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with problems varying from normal ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience required to execute surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise 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 irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
