Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable medical training with an importance on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat problems extending from usual afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet typically encounter.
