Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical training with an attention to on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to address problems extending from conventional afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet normally experience.
