Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial medical training with a focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems stretching from usual afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which furnish them the skill vital to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet typically encounter.
