Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing health care education with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address problems extending from usual ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet commonly encounter.
