Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable medical instruction with a main focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage difficulties stretching from typical problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
