Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant healthcare instruction with an importance on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with problems stretching from normal disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities.
