Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact many podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical instruction with a concentration on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat conditions varying from regular ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
