Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and many podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained substantial healthcare training with an attention to on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with complications ranging from standard afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the expertise required to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet generally experience.
