Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing healthcare education with a focus on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat concerns ranging from standard disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet typically experience.
