Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat concerns extending from regular afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet regularly encounter.
