Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical education with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with problems varying from familiar ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet usually experience.
