Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received encompassing health care instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address conditions ranging from regular ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which give them the skill required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
