Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging health care education with a main focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with complications extending from commonplace conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
