Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough healthcare training with an importance on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with complications varying from conventional ailments for instance 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 substantial surgical education which supply them the experience needed to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet typically experience.
