Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant medical instruction with a concentration on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle problems extending from general disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet regularly experience.
