Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial medical education with an importance on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to handle issues extending from standard conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the expertise crucial to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet usually encounter.
