Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging health care instruction with an attention to on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address complications varying from familiar problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet normally experience.
