Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually several podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical training with an attention to on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to manage conditions ranging from basic ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the skill vital to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet normally encounter.
