Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant healthcare education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat problems varying from simple ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
