Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 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 get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough medical training with a focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with issues varying from simple conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
