Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical education with an importance on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat problems stretching from usual ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless issues which the feet regularly experience.
