Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained significant health care instruction with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat difficulties ranging from familiar problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience required to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet usually encounter.
