Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive health care training with a focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat conditions stretching from general disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience essential to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet usually encounter.
