Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical education with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with complications varying from standard afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the skill vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
