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. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained encompassing medical training with an importance on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to address difficulties stretching from usual afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
