Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address conditions extending from typical afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet usually experience.
