Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial healthcare instruction with a main focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat problems extending from general problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the practical experience needed to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
