Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial healthcare training with an attention to on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to manage complications varying from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough 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 irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
