Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive healthcare training with a concentration on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for problems varying from usual problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet routinely encounter.
