Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians 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 Podiatric doctors have acquired substantial health care instruction with a focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues stretching from commonplace afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those troubles 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 legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
