Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact several 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 another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical instruction with a main focus on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to deal with concerns stretching from simple conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet frequently experience.
