Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive health care education with an attention to on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems varying from general ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
