Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical instruction with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat concerns stretching from common conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
