Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging health care education with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with difficulties ranging from conventional afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet regularly experience.
