Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough health care training with an attention to on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for complications stretching from conventional afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
