Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually various podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable health care training with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to address problems stretching from commonplace afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the expertise crucial to conduct surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet usually encounter.
