Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for conditions extending from commonplace disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet generally experience.
