Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable medical education with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address difficulties ranging from standard conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience required to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet normally encounter.
