Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant medical training with a stress on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage issues stretching from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
