Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with a focus on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to deal with problems stretching from typical problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the practical experience required to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
