Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address problems ranging from usual ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the expertise crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet normally experience.
