Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to handle difficulties extending from commonplace afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
