Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat concerns varying from regular disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which supply them the skill essential to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet regularly experience.
