Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant medical training with an importance on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage difficulties varying from commonplace ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
