Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical training with a focus on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle problems ranging from general ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the prior experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
