Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive healthcare education with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to address concerns ranging from regular conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
