Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial medical training with a main focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from commonplace conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
