Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained significant medical education with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle complications ranging from regular problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet typically experience.
