Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial health care training with a stress on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat conditions ranging from conventional conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet commonly encounter.
