Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for concerns ranging from familiar afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied 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 endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent a large number of conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
