Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing health care training with a focus on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage difficulties ranging from normal afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
