Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained considerable medical instruction with a concentration on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems ranging from typical disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
