Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired substantial health care education with a concentration on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address complications ranging from familiar conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill vital to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
