Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial health care training with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage issues varying from typical afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
