Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare instruction with an attention to on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions extending from normal problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet frequently encounter.
